One of my work colleagues gave me a local tip about getting in to the parklands of Blenheim Palace in Woodstock; and we were intrigued by her description of how to find the green gate that would let us in by public right of way. There is a high stone wall circling a huge area around Woodstock itself as well as a few surrounding villages but we managed to find our way in. The Palace itself is stunning from the outside although unfortunately it has what we call 'the curse of the scaffolding' at the moment. It is famous as the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
Lots of sleepy little lambs in the surrounding pastures.
'Capability' Brown's artificial lake.
A lovely walk on an overcast day.

Ohh..those little lambs are sooo cute.
When are you going to get a dog? Looks like a good place to bring it for a nice walk.
Not sure about the dog, Aunt CY... I love my weekend sleep ins too much! Don't mind borrowing my friend's dog Magic for a walk every now and again though (-:
